We performed a comparison between 42Gears SureMDM and IBM MaaS360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
